Back in 'ye olden days, we used to have a customized version of bash that recognized '/' as a word separator; which was very nice when editing command lines, a CTRL-W would not erase your whole typed path, just back to the slash. Without building a new version of bash, how can I make the shell recognize '/' as a word separator??? TIA, :b! Brian D.
